We would walk it as its on a level with the First Division at best.
The only reason Rangers or Celtic sometimes do okay against Premier League teams is because its their Cup Final.
Being massive underdogs in one off matches is great, and sometimes reaps dividends, but if they played PL teams week in week out, instead of the other Scottish villages they would struggle to survive a season.
i honestly feel our squad would be too strong over a season even for the best teams in the Scottish League to cope with.
It all comes down to money, Celtic and Rangers only get £4-5m a year in TV money, which if Latics had that cash we wouldnt be able to compete at all. Possibly a SPL side at best.
If we went in with our £50m a year, we would compete in the top 4. If you look at the Old Firms record against premier league teams, they wouldnt be a push over.
If Celtic and Rangers came into the Premiership, there is little reason to beleive they couldnt compete.

so you think we could compete for top spot in the SPL ?
the worst rangers team in years got a 0-0 at ot last night
we got battered 5-0 at a canter twice last season and have been beaten by them in every meeting in the premiership
so what does anyone base this competing theory on ?
perhaps we should adopt the cup final strategy against man u – oh i forgot they drubbed us 4-0 in a real final as well.

Well, we beat St Mirren easily enough, didn’t we? ;)
I think 4th or 5th would be a reasonable target, too. Wouldn’t like to think we’d be relegated.
True. No offense to Valencia but, they must be struggling to have him in the team to be honest. He is not worthy of a team that want to win the league.

Yet they did manage to win it with him in the team, didn’t they?
